From the makers of Tetris Tiles: "For years people have asked us to come up with a fun and colourful alternative to normal everyday tiles. So in 2007 we set about making Tetris Tiles and testing them in our friends homes." I want these for my bathroom!

Remember the scene in Star Wars: A New Hope where Chewbacca was playing the Dejarik Holochess with C-3PO on board the Millenium Falcon? Now you can own a 1:6 scale of the chess game complete with 8 12" holomonsters. Just make sure you don't play against a Wookie.

For its October issue, Harper's Bazaar did a photo shoot for its Halloween fashion spread with models dressed in clothes inspired by Tim Burton. I love it! Everyday should be Halloween with people dressed up like this.

If you're bored with ordinary looking ice cubes, try making them with the Icetris Ice Tray. Just pour water into the tray, freeze it and you'll get yourself some Tetris ice cubes! And if you're still bored, you can try playing Tetris using the cubes before they melt away.

I had a blast at F1 Rocks Singapore. No Doubt and Beyonce were amazing! Gwen Stefani and her band mates were at their rocking best and Beyonce - what a diva and... what a voice!

Videos of Beyonce and No Doubt below but first here's a pic of me with the LG Viewty phone that I was given by LG to try out at the concert. Not a bad phone, really. The 8 megapixel camera which comes with a reasonable flash is really good but the lack of zoom is a drawback if you're going to use it to take photos or videos at concerts.

No Doubt!

Beyonce! I like the crotch grabbing part.

Oh btw, did you know that Gwen Stefani is related to Singaporeans? She claims she's a relative because her husband's stepmom is Malaysian. LOL. Watch the video above.

Oh btw, you can still grab the last 200 tickets for the F1 Rocks Singapore with LG feat Beyoncé and the Black Eyed Peas! First 10 in line will get their tickets free while the next 50 will receive special LG goodie bags. Tickets cost $200 in cash purchases and are available at the LG Concept Store, VivoCity from 11am, 26 Sept 2009. Tickets are limited to one ticket per person.

Yesterday, I went to the super exclusive E! (Entertainment Channel) Asia's Red Carpet Event at The Prime Society. It was the first time ever that E! rolled out a red carpet in Singapore and last night was definitely an A-lister party with lots of celebrities like Eunice Olsen, one half of twins May & Choy, Benedict Goh, Allan Wu, Irene Ang, Stephanie Carrington, Jaymee Ong, Max Loong, Jimmy T and many more attending. Here are some pics!

Fangirls and fanboys waiting to catch the stars arriving at the red carpet.
And yes, I was on the red carpet too posing for the cameras. Felt like a star for a few seconds. LOL.

There were lots of pretty people at the party.

The lovely Stephanie Carrington. She's hot!!!

No idea who this lady is but I'll have both Stephanie and her please.

May or Choy? I'm not sure.

No red carpet event will be complete without nice food and drinks. The snacks they served were ok but the wine was good and I had lots of it.
Ok. Maybe a little too much.

Enjoy this video taken at the event. See if you can spot the celebs. You can catch E! Entertainment on Starhub Channel 80.

I didn't know that the Plaza Premium Lounge at Changi Airport Terminal 1 has an oxygen bar where you can breathe humidified air. There are different colors to choose from, each representing the various aromas one can inhale throug a nasal tube.

For her senior collection, fashion major Montyfull who is an avid gamer created eveningwear that is inspired by Super Mario! I like her Mario black dress. It's very sexy especially with the Nintendo controller strapped on the model's upper thigh.

Rick takes portroids of people he knows. And he has quite a collection. Sometimes he will take a portroid the second he meets someone. What is a portroid? A portroid is a Polaroid Portrait. He says, "I thought combining the words into portroid sounded better than polatrait."

Klaudiusz Golos and Sebastion Mikuciuk wanted to build a house that is different so they built an upside down house complete with upside down furniture! They called their project ”The world stands on its head”.

Andrea made this amazing Han Solo Frozen In Carbonite cake for her boyfriend. She says, "I must say that although I did see the Star Wars movies as a child, when Dan requested a Han Solo frozen in carbonite cake for his birthday, I didn’t really know what I was letting myself in for!"

Aidra and Ernest must have been hardcore Katamari Damacy players. For their wedding in July, they had it done in a theme based on the popular Japanese video game. Guests had to wear a Katamari Damacy headgear! Check out their wedding pics here. Kinda odd if you ask me.
